I think we should bring in an experienced Vet to back up Lawrence. Help ease him into the NFL way of things behind the scenes. How to prepare like a pro etc etc.

Ryan Fitzpatrick will be a FA this off season. I think he'd be the perfect guy to bring in to back up Lawrence and show him the ropes.

First, can TL even grow a beard? Second, do we want to see TL in the short shorts?

Not a bad idea, someone like that or a Colt McCoy (no idea on his status and too lazy to look it up if we're being honest) would be good to have around. I'm not so worried about whether the backup can win games in the starters absence as I am in his ability to mentor and develop the off-the-field habits that will foster success.

But yeah, I get that the Shew is cheap, but it's probably better to have someone with a number of years in a number of systems to help our future QB learn the ropes. I have a feeling we deal him for a late pick, maybe recoup his original pick.

Haven't we had enough head-scratching personnel decisions in the past week or so?
